[SDK 3.0] Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version
Hi!
I checked many threads related to the message "Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version" and I got no solution.
I work with SDK and iPhone in 3.0. Everything was fine and unexpectedly around 2pm, I got the message whereas I compiled successfully during the previous hours.
The whole cases I read about were related to SDK 2.1.1 or lower. I tried to figured out the symbilic link stuffs without success...
have you tried to 'clean all targets' then re-build?
I tried without success.
Actually, the message is displayed into the organizer window below the version of the iPhone. The message prevents me to install or uninstall new provisionning profile, so I can't install new apps.
This problem seems not to be related to a particular project but to every project I'm working on (I tested with most of them). I think it's related to Xcode, not to some app.

I have that same message and I am able to install a provisioning profile and put my app on my device. Perhaps the issue is something else? Maybe something to do with what version you wrote the app in vs what version is on the device? Just wanted you to know that that message alone does not prevent you from adding a profile and installing an app.

You're right, I made some cleaning in my provisionning profiles and everything works again... except for this remaining message in my organizer.
Unfortunately, I forgot exactly what I did to solve the problem. I can still give you some leads and hopping for the best :
- remove every provisioning profiles from your Xcode and re-install them
- restart you device
- be sure that the provisioning profiles you want to install on the device contains its UDID
A: The message "Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version" is not an error; rather it's a notification that the version of the iPhone OS installed on the plugged in device does not have a corresponding restore image for Xcode to use.
This may happen on a new Mac OS X installation (when no iPhone OS updates have yet been downloaded), or when your device contains a newer version of iPhone OS that's not yet available to Xcode (for example, a newly purchased device with a later version than what's on your Mac).
It may also happen if you install an iPhone OS on your device on one machine and then plug it into a different machine that doesn't contain the matching restore image.
This message does not prevent you from using the device for development purposes. The only effect is the inability to reinstall the OS currently on the device using Xcode.
You can check which software restore images are on your Mac (that is, have been installed either through updates in iTunes or as part of the iPhone OS beta program) by looking in ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/.

Don't worry its very simple i got the fix here it is
just check the iphone software version showing in Organiser window.

or else download the exact firmware from any 3rd party like versiontracker.com...
put the downloaded firware to this path <your Home>~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
now quit and reopen the Xcode then go to organizer window...
now you will not see this message "Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version"...
click on the restore button ...
u r iphone will be restored with the downloaded firmware...
again iphone will restart..
now message will show "use device for devolpment" click on that
thats it....

I am still getting this error message.. removed the current version of XCode, pulled down the latest SDK which included the new XCode and I am still getting this error (message)..
I go to the directory, and i do have the iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw file.. I am thinking that this is the old one (pre-4.0 version).. so why wasn't this upgraded with my install of the new SDK/XCode?.. and how do I get the correct one from Apple? would a re-install of iTunes help me out with this.. I am running the most up to date iTunes on my mac.
